Choshi Examples

   

Example 1

[Diagram]

White reinforces with choshi

This example comes from Atsuku Utsu (To Play Thickly), by the editorial staff of Igo magazine, p. 116. White was Takagawa, Black was Kitani.

W1 "reinforces the top side with choshi."

[Diagram]

Continuation (i)

White plays W1 to begin to settle the WC orphans. Note that B2 is also played with choshi.

[Diagram]

Continuation (ii)

White plays kikashi with W1 - B4 before playing W5. Now the game depends upon Black's attack on White's central group.


Example 2

[Diagram]

Fujisawa Tesuji Dictionary

By taking profit in the corner with W1 White considers the exchange of B2 for W3 Choshi, but in reply, W3 provokes B4, also Choshi. (i.e. White shouldn't play this way.)
